It is divided into three main sections: historical background, judicial remedies and accelerated procedures. It focuses on the preliminary reference procedure under Article 267 TFEU, emphasising its crucial role in ensuring the uniformity of EU law and its far-reaching impact on national legal systems. It also looks at accelerated and urgent procedures for the rapid resolution of cases.
